China Palace Steakhouse

Lupitas was excellent , the best customer service in town!! the steaks was delicious! Nice place to dinner with family!!

The meal was delicious. I had the rib eye steak. The portions are huge and cooked perfectly.

Always the best Steak and Lobster!! Mario is the best host ever, makes dining experience fun and friendly, food delicious!!

Delicious food and amazing customer service. One of the best Chinese food restaurants in the imperial Valley.

The food overall is just very good, loved it.

Service was quick with a smile. Mario as usual was very cordial. Best Chinese food in valley

They have the COVID thing handled. Meal was served in "to go" boxes so no additional handling. For was good as always

Very good food the filet mignon is delicious the lobster tail to and don't forget to get a shrimp cocktail 👌👌👌

Outside appearance was questionable, but we took the chance and it was some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. We had the Mongolian beef and sesame seed chicken.

Food was great 12 of us at with a family lunch for 8 and we had lots of food left over.

Excellent food, probably the best traditional Chinese Cantonese style food in the Imperial Valley.

As always great food ... Try the Steak House as well... Nothing but the best at China Palace.

Best Chinese food in the county. Highly recommend the chow mein cantonese, mongolian beef, and egg-foo young cantonese.

Mario is the nicest man, fully takes care of all his customers! Assertive, friendly and the best shrimp cocktails in town!! Not to mention the amazing Cosmopolitan Martini he makes!

Food was so delish. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, I'll be back. It has an awesome atmosphere. Not so close to my office, unfortunately.

Very tasty food. Excellent service. Thank you Mario, Lupita and Eddie for all of your attention.

Visited last night, it's been awhile, celebrated wife's BD, their Filet Mignon cooked to medium was delicious, served juicy and tender.

My wife and I love eating here. Service is great, food is top notch and we always have a great time

We love the China Palace steak house. Our favorite place to enjoy a nice steak or lobster tail in the valley. The staff is super friendly and prompt.

Great service, and they have a great variety of Chinese dishes. The food is fresh!!!

The food is good. Workers are nice and atentive

Had a small party of 5, we were given a table with a lazy susan, worked great for sharing. Food was hot and fresh. Prompt service too.

The steak was made perfect to my specifications, nice and tender the shrimp we're delicious it was just a very pleasant experience!

Had our company Christmas party at the steakhouse and was very surprised at how good the food was but if my work wasn't paying dont think I would spend 50 bucks on a steak

We love the Friday Special, bacon wrapped shrimp and filet mignon. Plus the service is great with warm and friendly atmosphere.

The food was great, quick service and friendly staff. Will be returning for sure

Great, food is always good and service is excellent.

I work down here 6 to 8 weeks a year always look forward to having a dinner there service is excellent food is great looking forward to coming back next year

Delicious food , great atmosphere, prompt service

Very beautiful setting💖 just recently had a family gathering there on behalf of funeral services. All the food was prepared on time and hot. Thank you to the owner for allowing this special event to take place. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed the Chinese food here. Service is great and everyone is very friendly. Have also been here for some events hosted by the IV LGBT Resource Center. The 🥩 is great. Would recommend. Thank you for your support of the IV LGBT RC.

Clean, prompt service and great food. Great professional service. A+++ Please open the steak bar again….

My first time eating at this restaurant 😋 and the food was so good. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Recommend the shark 🦈 fin soup 🍲. Very delicious 😋.

We always get great service there! Lily and her team are so friendly! Love the food too! Lily always remembers my favorite order! We drive 15 miles to dine there. I wish they had wifi though. Still wonderful none the less!

Great food and service . We go there every time we go to El Centro . Great experience .

Great place for a great Ribeye steak. We split the steak and added asparagus which was a win-win. The manager/owner is also a great guy that makes you feel like a local. Everything was clean and the bar has seating for about six.

This is the best Chinese food in El Centro, do not waste your time or money on the other places! I recommend the comida corrida if you order it for three, five can eat and be satisfied

It's been 15 years since I've been there. Every chinese food place I've ever been over the years since I moved from the valley I always compared to China Palace, the food is still the same it's so delicious and I'm so glad I got to go there.

We had the Friday special ..bacon wrapped shrimp and filet mignon. The shrimp is the best I've ever had, the steak was perfect and the service was great. The only drawback is the 100 mile drive but it was worth it!

We have been going on date night here for years. Wonderful waiters and relaxing atmosphere. The food is DELICIOUS and visually the same. I usually have two lobstertails with filet mignon. The pricing is decent and worth every bite.

Comfortable, pleasent atmosphere. An abundance of excellent food. Great service.

Excellent Chinese food, it’s probably the best tasting and the most similar flavor to Mexicali Chinese food. This place is probably better! Super friendly staff and they deliver so quickly. Definitely my go to Chinese place in the Valley

I love this place. First time back in a year and was as good as ever. My favorite place. Good food and service and memories.

Had a great lunch combo.

Started eating before I took the pic... lol. Love this place! Great food and staff! The Almond Chicken and Chicken with Vegetables are my favorite!

Always delicious food and great friendly service!!!

Very good service & the food was delicious. Big portions definitely coming back.

China Palace is absolutely amazing. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish tasted hot, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked — nothing greasy or bland like you sometimes get with takeout. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were generous, making it totally worth it. You can really tell they take pride in their food because everything had great flavor and balance. It hit that perfect comfort-food spot while still tasting high quality. If you’re craving delicious Chinese food that’s fresh, tasty, and satisfying, China Palace is definitely the place to go. I’ll 100% be coming back.

My family has been eating at China Palace since it opened in Calexico. I love this place. I have since moved away from the valley, but still eat here every time I visit. I am so grateful they are still open and every dish tastes like it did 40 years ago. The service is always quick and attentive. I love this place. It's definitely an oldie but goodie.

Owner (Mario) & staff are always attentive and very friendly. Salt & Pepper fish is hands down the best in the valley. Food is overall good, you can’t go wrong with almost any dish. Will be back again, thank you guys for the extra chili peppers!

Our company had our yearly Christmas lunch here in their private room. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, they even played Christmas music for us. Thank You very much guys, for making this Christmas lunch perfect!!!

Very good food and the service was great. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite to eat if your in El Centro area.

One of my favorite places when in el centro. Salt and pepper fish dish is my favorite. Love this place!!!

Excellent food huge portions and very personable. Definitely recommend

Delicious food, prompt professional service. Very friendly

Very friendly, only went there for to go and it was a pleasant place to be in with about 7 minutes for my order

Service and food are amazing good recommend this restaurant in El Centro

Excellent food and service! Nothing compares! I have been going to China Palace for over 40 years and the food has always been top notch! I highly recommend the Mongolian Beef or Chicken, Egg Rolls, Sesame Chicken, Cantonese Broccoli, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Cantonese Chicken, Cantonese Foo Yong, Sizzling Steak.....The list is endless! Jorge always provides the best service and Mario and Aurora are always so welcoming! A+++!

I've eaten here several times through the take out and the gentleman who takes my order is always polite and informative if I have questions about my order or what I should get. Then the great service continues when I go to pick it up. Very friendly and polite from the time I walk in til I leave and my order is completed. The food is amazing especially the orange chicken...man it's zesty and tangy and will have you scraping the plate for the last bit of sauce. Highly recommend this place.

Very good food here and very friendly people and Mario and His Mom are awesome and they gonna make sure you leave happy and I definitely recommend this place to everyone 🙂

China palace love their food! Mario and Jorge serve exceptionally delicious food made fresh with outstanding flavor. Highly recommend china palace for making me and my family feel extremely satisfied

Delicious Chinese food! The Mongolian beef & the orange chicken are awesome, if you like shrimp ask for the Mongolian shrimp and the China Palace chow main is a must. The service was excellent.

The place in nice but they need put more food to go in the case they are so cheap

Food is good but a bit pricey.

Stumbled on this place traveling very very tasty. Very fair prices big selection you can't go wrong eating here

Food was delicious and fast and friendly service.

I give the a five star if their service improves. Slow and they acted when we asked for additional condiments like if we asked them for money. Food was good.

I really enjoy eating here since food is made fresh. Staff is very friendly but it does take a while for them to get to you.

This is a great Chinese Food Restaurant. The food is great and the service is awesome. They are still limited to Take Out orders only, but George is awesome. Great food and servings.

Good standard steak and service. Seemed high price. Chinese food area completely separate from steakhouse. Did not see the light steak on salad option view on someone's post.

This has always been a favorite place for my family. We’vw been coming for years. It’s family run and the food is always the same good quality. We moved to a neighboring g town but still come back! Thank you! PS leftovers were super good too!

Service was okay, nothing special. Food was not so good. I didn't finish it all. I felt sick a few hours after I ate there. I was surprised as it looks like a quality place when you first walk in.

The food was good but the service wasn't that good my parents asked for some boxes to put the food in and they never gave it to us my brother had to go get them

Good food. I personally like Sweet n'sour Pork crunchy, not soggy and soft. We ordered Glen Cadrez fried rice. Too much chicken but taste was good. Did not care for the ice tea, funny taste. Waiters need to always look around to see if patrons are in need of service. For dine in we were served in Take Outs! Not a problem!

1 hour wait. The roasted chicken was dry. Servings were small for the price. Terrible experience.

The food was just okay in my opinion. The glass they gave me was super dirty. I could literally wiped the grime away with my finger. Had to ask for a new one. The staff was not very attentive.

Don't go on new years eve. Service was terrible and the meal was nothing to write home about. On a normal night the service is great and the food is delicious. Learned my lesson. I will go back on a night when there is not a special occasion.

We order beef broccoli for lunch. It tasted greasey and not fresh like it was cooking all morning or left overs from yesterday. The table was sticky as well as the menu. The room smelled like old grease.

I had the BBQ pork strips with the pork fried rice. The pork was dry as hell and flavorless. The rice was no better. Paid 15 $ for lunch, a lot of money for chinesse. Attention was good.

Food was okay bad portions and was too expensive

I couldn't eat it. It was way too salty, oily and it tasted like fish. I just throw it away. NEVER eating there again.

Very bad service, called to place an order and when I got home they didn’t give me what I ordered. Food was VERY salty and overcooked and overpriced.

Agree with another reviewer, the food was bland and overpriced. Our usual Chinese restaurant was closed so I decided to give them a try, never again. Waste of my money.

Wouldn’t answer the phone when we called plenty of times. They got our order wrong and gave us small portions. We payed over 100 dollars for our food and got almost nothing. Bad service don’t go there.

Stay away from this place. Steak House located in El Centro. Freakin clowns didn't know how to cook a rare steak. 1st attempt came out med well. 2nd attempt came out raw and refrigerator cold in center. Manager was very sarcastic about how I should expect it. I had to show him Google pictures and temp of how it should come out. "Should I take temp with thermostat?" He asked with sarcastic tone. "Oh....hell yes. Especially if your cook can't cook steak at a steak house". This place is located East on Adams from Imperial next to China Palace.

I have eaten here for years,Maybe since inflation is at its highest my take out portions were ridiculous. Needed to order extra rice and chop suey was barely enough for one person.Wont be eating here again.

This place is gross!!! The food tastes old and has no flavor whatsoever , it was my first time trying it this weekend , my parents tend to order from this place a lot but after trying it I cant even explain how the food made me feel right after 😷 i get it you guys get busy but be better do you guys not taste your food before handing it out????? My family & I will not be returning, Fortune Garden is way better will have to wait the extra hour or so for my food then come back back here smh!

Birthday lunch gone wrong. Mario Ye and waitress had attitude. Lunch order was promised to be served before 12pm (11:50am) by Mario Ye but was served 40 minutes later (12:30pm). Waitress brought out birthday pastry after half of the people had already left the table to stand in line to pay for their meal. Much needed update in their pay service system. No one has time to stand in line for minutes to pay for their lunch meal.

I was in town for a competition and decided to try them out, a total waist of money. Food is over priced for such little love and care put into it. Very bland and made in a way I have never seen nor tasted asian food.

Food was cold when brought out. Only thing hot was the white rice. They clearly DON'T cook the food. They warm it up . Fried rice had no egg or carrots or peas. It was just rice sprinkled with green onions. I panda express would have been better and hotter food than this place.
